The SGH wire-actuated encoder measures the absolute, direct cylinder stroke in the hydraulic cylinder. Cost-intensive drilling of the piston is no longer required thanks to the new measurement system. As a result there are lower integration costs compared with other measurement systems and weakening of the piston is effectively avoided. The highlight: The measurement system can even be used in telescopic cylinders!
In the framework of SPS IPC Drives 2015, exhibition and online visitors nominated the SGH10 as the winner of the DirectIndustry i-NOVO Award in the TECH category.
